Published in 2024 at "Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00410-024-02180-7

Abstract: The presence of mafic enclaves and banded pumice reveals key physical processes associated with volcanic eruptions. Here, through the textural and geochemical analyses of the 3550 B.P. Waimihia deposits in Taupō, New Zealand, we demonstrate… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Journal of Earth System Science"

DOI: 10.1007/s12040-018-0969-5

Abstract: Precambrian magmatism in the Biabanak-Bafq district represents an extensive sequence of mafic magmatic rocks. Major, trace and rare earth elements reveal that the low-Ti basement mafic rocks are magnesium tholeiite and low-Ti cover a mafic… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Gondwana Research"

DOI: 10.1016/j.gr.2017.12.001

Abstract: Abstract Understanding how Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) formed in the Proterozoic is subject to several challenges, including incomplete geological exposure, deformations from subsequent reworking and the lack of strong geophysical signals from the associated thermal… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Geoscience frontiers"

DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2020.01.002

Abstract: Abstract The Spanish Central System (SCS) contains several suites of Palaeozoic mafic igneous intrusions with contrasting geochemical affinity: Ordovician tholeiitic metabasites, Variscan calc-alkaline gabbros (Gb1) and microdiorites (Gb2), shoshonitic monzogabbros (Gb3) and alkaline diabases and… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Journal of Asian Earth Sciences"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jseaes.2016.09.005

Abstract: Abstract Late Permian mafic flows and dikes are prominent features in and around the Western Guangxi region in southern China. Based on petrographic, geochemical and Sr-Nd isotopic data, the western Guangxi mafic rocks are geochemically… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Lithos"

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2016.12.030

Abstract: Abstract A dry mafic dyke from a continental lower-crustal shear zone in the Seiland Igneous Province (northern Norway) experienced syn-kinematic melt-rock interaction. Viscous shearing occurred at T ≈ 800 °C, P ≈ 0.75–0.95 GPa and was coeval with infiltration of felsic… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Lithos"

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2017.06.023

Abstract: Abstract Several recent studies have documented that the silicic rocks (SiO 2  > 65 wt.%) comprising Silicic Large Igneous Provinces are derived from partial melting of the crust facilitated by underplating/intraplating of “hidden” large igneous province-scale basaltic… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Lithos"

DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105702

Abstract: Abstract The Ntem Complex represents the northwestern margin of Congo Craton in southern Cameroon. It consists mainly of charnockites, TTG suites, potassic grantitoids, minor supracrustal and mafic rocks. The latter include gabbronorite enclave or sill,… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Environmental science & technology"

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.5c07444

Abstract: The strong impetus to reduce emissions from fossil fuels has led to the development of abatement technologies, such as in situ carbon storage via mineralization in mafic and ultramafic rocks. While field-scale implementation of carbon… read more here.
